Checking Coolant
.. . .
The coolant recovery tank is located
on
the passenger's
side at the rear corner
of
the engine compartment.
When your engine is cold, the coolant level should
be
at
the
COLD
mark, or a little higher. When your engine is
warm, the level should
be
up to the
HOT
mark, or a
little higher.
Adding Coolant
If
you
need more coolant, add the proper
DEX-COOL@
coolant mixture
at
the coolant recovery tank.

Turning the radiator pressure cap when the
engine and radiator are hot can allow steam and
scalding liquids
to
blow out and burn you badly.
With the coolant recovery tank, you will almost
never have to add coolant at the radiator.
Never turn the radiator pressure cap
--
even a
little
--
when the engine and radiator are hot.

coolant mixture at the recovery tank, but be careful
not to spill it.
'ION:
You
can be burned
if
you
spill coolant on hot
engine parts. Coolant contains ethylene glycol,
and it will burn if the engine parts are hot
enough. Don't spill coolant
on
a hot engine.
